This log holder is nearly identical to a known and documented model produced in 1908 by Gustav Stickley. This could possibly also be by Stickley, but it is unsigned.

This heavy fireplace log holder is executed in the Arts and Crafts “Mission” idiom, combining a hammered copper trough-form liner with a riveted, strapwork iron cradle and slatted side guards. The copper body displays a dense planished surface with a warm, time-darkened tone and areas of verdigris that read as an honest byproduct of age and use, while the surrounding ironwork is worked with broad, hand-hammered faces and secured with domed rivets, emphasizing the period’s preference for visible construction and workshop integrity. Four small casters elevate the form and make it practical at the hearth, and the squared feet and banded corners reinforce the architectural, Craftsman character. In overall design and material pairing, the piece aligns closely with documented Arts and Crafts log holders and related copper-and-iron hearth accessories of the early 20th century, and it is best described as in the style of Gustav Stickley and the Craftsman movement; comparable examples are commonly cataloged generically as “Arts & Crafts” or “Mission” log holders, with closely related forms appearing in the market in similar scale and function.
